AWS CI/CD pipeline that deploys a web app to EC2 with no SSH, no Jenkins, and no GitHub Actions.
We build a tiny deployment pipeline where dropping one zip file into an S3 bucket takes a new build live in under a minute. The web server has no SSH key pair at all. Commands reach it through Systems Manager over a channel the machine opens itself, and the server pulls its own code straight from the bucket. By the end you'll watch a Neon Snake game go from upload to live without anyone opening a terminal.

? What you'll learn:
1️⃣ Why an EC2 instance with zero SSH keys is safer, not lazier
2️⃣ How Systems Manager runs commands over an outbound 443 channel with nothing listening on the box
3️⃣ How an S3 upload event wakes a Lambda function that writes the deploy script but never runs it
4️⃣ How two least-privilege IAM roles keep the whole blast radius tiny
5️⃣ How to wire S3, Lambda, SSM and EC2 into one working pipeline
